CHICAGO, ILL, August 20 Lawyer
N. Il Hanchette, who was employed by
the Citizens Association to wiring

admitting that Sheridan has not been
taken In charge by officers Of the

aldermen agsin,t whom he had agreed
to become witness.
Mr.. Hsnchette said that he had been
made aware that certain aldermen aud
others implicated had, within the p at
few days, made up considerable sum
Of money for Sheridan In order to buy
him Oh, and po,sibly to send him
away to prevent him from tsatifying
against them. Sheridan had put him

Others had paid him small sums, and

Lone Women.

woman living alone, uncared for,
without human sympathy or help. is not a
pleasant picture to look upon. 1t is un-
natural.
Every woman has cravings demanding
satisfaction in human society. You may
set il down i'll your minds notebook she
has received series of hard knocks be-
fore she secludes herself, denying herself
this sustenance.
solitary life is invariably forced upon
her, either through her feelings of neces-
sity or sensitiveness. 1t is the result of
suffering; she is victim of tenderhearted-
ness, never creature of -sufficiency.
How much more is she a victim of soil
tude than a man so situated? A man of
means but no home ties has his club,
CHEEKY places in which TO punch billiard
balls he can go sit in some woman's pretty
parlor; in fact, he has a score of mediums
by which to pass his hours of leisure.
A woman has no club. Such places are
not considered conducive to morality. A
womans place is at home. She is con-
spicuous object at the theater when alone,
or in the more quiet concert room. She
cannot invite gentleman to accompany
her. She cannot have this recreation un-
less assisted to it by friends. When she
does not possess them the pleasure is unat-
tainable.
If we stop to consider for a moment we
each know of such a woman. Perhaps she
is seamstress, out in families all day, al
home in her cherries room only for few
hours at night. We never have called to
see her-she never asked us to do so.
Perhaps she is an old, wrinkled- faced
woman, who was reticent but kindly, and
when we hear she has been found asleep
forever, with no one TO close her eyes ten
derby, we wonder we never cultivated O
little friendliness with her.
Poverty, with its lack of resources, adds
much to the sadness of solitude, but meat
and drink for the body is not all. The
soul must also have food.
Cheerful words cost nothing but an eff
fort, and are most often priceless to the
